What made you start customizing figures?
A. Toy Biz never made the X-Men that I wanted
What was the first figure you did?
A. Jeez...I have no earthly idea hehe. It goes back to old 94' X-Men figures. I think like, modifying a Gambit or something.
What was the last figure you did?
A. Well I hope to not say any figure is my last hehe, I plan on getting back into it this summer when I have more time to devote to it. As of now though, my last customs were from the X3 movie. I'm striving to make a set.
What was the figure you had the most fun with (making)?
A. To be honest, they all start out fun because the idea is fresh, but after a while I start getting agrivated just because I work so damn slow hehe. Anything fun, for me, usually brings frustration because I'm a damn perfectionist.
What was the hardest figure you have made?
A. Hmm, that'll take some time, let me get back to you...
Do you ever keep your own customs?
A. I always keep my newest ones for a short time so that I can enjoy them, but then when I find I need more money for parts I trade out and make myself a new one and let someone else enjoy the old one.
Do you have any customs from other customizers?
A. People have always asked me that. The only thing I have from another customizer was one of Ms.Big's ornaments that I won in a contest. As I say, I have nothing against other artists work but I am a perfectionist and anything I get, from a customizer or from a company, I would fool with it myself, so I just tend to make whatever I want and not rely on others.

Whats the best thing about running this forum? Whats the worst thing?

How old were you when you got your first Buffy figure?
A. It was the series 1 Buffy figure. I had no idea who Buffy was, the show, anything. I just saw it and said "I need a generic female to go with my X-Men for Magneto to kill". So I snagged her
Who are the nicest members from this board past or present?

What was the worst day of your life?

A. I feel like everyone else I mean, they're doing what they have to do now, but they still should've been sooner. Those trucks and shit should have been ready to go the second that hurricane passed, not 2-3 days later.
Are you suprised at how many members there are on this forum?
A. I am, I never in a million years could've imagined it being this big when it started.
Are you glad you agreed to do this hotseat?
A. I am, I want to put myself out there and let people get to know me.

Nah
